Tennant Yeti (Happy New Year!)

I thought this image by graphic designer Brad Tennant was appropriate for the eve of the new year and for my last post of 2008.

Much love to Everyone! And Have a Happy New Year!

Harness Yeti

How do you get much cuter than this?

"Adorable Snowman" by Robert Harness aka pockets1987.

Do Narwhals Have Blowholes?

This picture book for kids looks like it was written just for me.

Product Description:
Two yetis embark on an adventure to answer the age-old question, "Do Narwhals Have Blowholes?"

I hope to acquire a copy and read it. THEN I WILL POST MY REACTION.

Alvord Yeti

Grace Alvord was one of the winners of this year's Halloween costume contest.

She also created this awesome, award-deserving plush. See more pics here.

Yetinacht

One of my favorite blogs, Monster Brains posted a bunch of great Krampus images, including the above, which reminded me of another winter-climate ape-man who is also prone to the having of horns and whose name should really need no mentioning at this point.

I don't know when this image was created (it looks vintage but who knows these days?), but it could possibly pre-date the Wampa, which is the first well-known, horned yetioid in the popular culture.

if you want to learn more about this Christmas yeti, I previously blogged about Krampus and his Bavarian cousin KLAUBAUF a couple of years ago.

Adopting the Guise...

another pic of it)

snappiness thought this crazy feathery suit should have won the grand prize (ed. note: definitely), but it "went to a baby dressed like a duck". Shameful.



Robi Lowe is the artist responsible for creating the Yeti and Ice Demon. According to Robi: "On the Yeti costume the icicles were lighted and glowed an Arctic blue."

EXCELLENT ATTENTION TO DETAIL.

Sommer Yeti

Illustrator Mikkel Sommer sketched this great character, a yeti in lederhosen.

This isn't the first time I've seen a yeti in lederhosen:



The "Yeti in Ill-fitting Lederhosen" (now disappeared from the Web) was one of the first plush forms of yeti I'd ever seen.

Lederhosen - another new trend!?
